Overview

Rocky Linux 10.0 is a community driven enterprise Linux distribution built by the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation to be binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. This image is frozen to the 10.0 point release: every package is synced to the archived 10.0 vault snapshot, so the platform you certify against today is the exact platform you keep, byte for byte.

It is a clean, fully synced Rocky Linux 10.0 foundation for reproducible builds and compliance environments that must not drift.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image is a minimal Rocky Linux 10.0 base pinned to the archived 10.0 vault at build time, with SELinux left enforcing both at runtime and across reboots, and the root password locked. No credential is baked in: access is by the SSH key you choose at launch, and SSH host keys plus the machine id are generated per machine, so no two instances share an identity. Unattended updates are armed against the frozen 10.0 vault and proven, so the machine keeps applying 10.0 errata without ever rolling forward to a newer minor. SSH on 22 is the only externally reachable port, the Cockpit web console ships closed, and 24/7 support is included.

Common uses

  • Reproducible and compliance builds pinned to a fixed minor
  • Certifying software against an exact 10.0 platform
  • A stable base that must not drift to a newer minor
